To prepare sand for hermit crabs in the microwave, heat it for about 1-2 minutes on high. It's important to stir the sand every 30 seconds to ensure even heating and to prevent hotspots. Make sure to let it cool down before adding it to the habitat, as it can retain heat and potentially harm the crabs. Always check the temperature to ensure it is safe for your pets.
